Want to be Seigneur of Sark? Just roll the dice

A RECENTLY launched board game gives players the chance to become Seigneur of Sark.

Game of Sark was the brainchild of island resident Gary Clarke, who devised, patented and found a company to make the game, which has now been brought onto the market.

So far it is on sale only in Sark shops and through Le Friquet Garden Centre in Guernsey but it is already proving popular among visitors and locals, with 69 being sold in the first week.
